Chapter 267: The Scapegoat
"Where are we?" When Yamanaka woke up, he found himself lying on a stretcher, and there were soldiers carrying the stretcher and moving quickly.
Looking around, Yamanaka Hideki noticed that the soldiers around him were a little embarrassed, and he could clearly see their panic on the faces of these devil soldiers. At the same time, Hideki Yamanaka could hear the shouts of killing coming from behind, as well as the trumpet blowing from Tsuchihachi, which made Hideki Yamanaka's face extremely difficult to look at, and he realized that something must have happened after he fell unconscious. Otherwise, with these Tubalu troops, how could they dare to attack easily?
"Captain, we were on the way to retreat when a shell exploded around you, knocking you unconscious. After you fainted, the artillery of the Eighth Route Army somehow found our hidden artillery, and their shelling was very accurate, and our hidden artillery was almost completely wiped out, and only a few artillery members were left alive. Squadron Leader Naku Hashimoto hurriedly said.
Hideki Yamanaka's face was extremely ugly, he sat up directly from the stretcher, slapped Nahisa Hashimoto in the face, and scolded: "Yaga! Rubbish! A bunch of rubbish! ”
"Gather the soldiers, we Imperial Japanese Army will fight back! If you can't even do this thing, what use do I want you? Organize a counterattack! Organize a counterattack now! Hideki Yamanaka roared loudly.
Many devils around looked at Hideki Yamanaka, without the slightest idea of stopping, they were still running quickly. Unlike Hideki Yamanaka, who was unconscious before, these escaped little devils all know how accurate the artillery of the Eighth Route Army is, and the artillery extension of the Eighth Route Bureau has not yet ended, where do they dare to turn back and organize a counterattack? I'm afraid that as soon as they gather, there will be shells flying and killing them directly.
"Captain, let's retreat, at least out of the artillery range of the Tuba Road! The artillery of the Tuba Road has been carrying out the artillery extension, and if it continues to stay, it is likely to extend to this area. Nahisa Hashimoto said persuadingly.
Nahisa Hashimoto looked at Hideki Yamanaka in front of him, a trace of disgust flashed in the depths of his eyes, at first he chose to defect to Hideki Yamanaka, it was because he wanted to go further, with his family background, without the support of his family, it was undoubtedly extremely difficult to get promoted again. But now, Nahisa Hashimoto no longer has the slightest idea of defecting to Hideki Yamanaka, he doesn't want to be Hideki Yamanaka's subordinate. From Hideki Yamanaka's decision-making, he could see Hideki Yamanaka's stupidity, and following such a commander was undoubtedly joking with his own life.
"Yaga! It's all because of you that our hidden Imperial artillery will be exposed! When you go back, wait for the punishment from the command! Hideki Yamanaka said directly.
This is the first time that Hideki Yamanaka has led his troops to battle, and as the leader of the Yamanaka family, Hideki Yamanaka doesn't want the defeat to affect him, so it is important to find a scapegoat. Hideki Yamanaka looked at Nayaka Hashimoto beside him, with a little smugness in his eyes, the person in front of him is the most suitable to be a scapegoat! Hideki Yamanaka knows the family background of Naiku Hashimoto, an ordinary civilian family, and no one will care if he dies here, and the upper echelons will not care about a small squadron leader.
Naku Hashimoto lowered his head with a cold expression, "Hello! Please also ask Your Excellency the Captain to retreat, the artillery extension of the Eighth Route is coming soon. ”
Look at the artillery fire that keeps looking at you, and the ghost soldiers who are fleeing. Yamanaka Hideki also knew that it was irrational to organize a counterattack now, let alone other devil soldiers, even if it was himself, he was unwilling to continue to stay in this area. Hideki Yamanaka glanced at Naku Hashimoto with satisfaction, this person is okay except for being a little stupid, he is a good candidate to be a scapegoat!
"Retreat!"
As soon as the words fell, Hideki Yamanaka decisively chose to flee, he didn't want to die under the fire of the Dirt Eight Road.
Behind him, Nahisa Hashimoto didn't move immediately, he looked at the other devils around him, and he could see the pity in the eyes of these devils, they all knew what Hideki Yamanaka meant. It's just that even so, these devils are not ready to do anything, they don't want to offend Hideki Yamanaka, even if Hideki Yamanaka has just taken over the position of captain and has not yet developed his cronies.
Feeling the gazes of other devils looking at him, Naiku Hashimoto's heart sank, and he decisively gave up the idea of asking these people for help, he knew that it would not be useful to open his mouth, but it would make Hideki Yamanaka vigilant. It's just that Hideki Yamanaka dared to say it before he was in front of him, so he was ready for Najiu Hashimoto to turn his face.
Nahisa Hashimoto can be sure that as long as he reveals the slightest intention to be unfavorable to Hideki Yamanaka, then there will be many devils who will directly capture themselves, or even kill themselves directly!
The autumn wind struck, rolled up the dust on the battlefield, blurred Hashimoto Naku's eyes, and rubbed his eyes vigorously, and there were tears glistening in his eyes. Nahisa Hashimoto didn't want to die, he didn't want to be scapegoated, not to mention that once he was punished in the army, then the family members who stayed in the country would also be punished.
But who in the infantry brigade could help him? Another infantry captain? Naiku Hashimoto shook his head secretly, he knew that the infantry captain himself could not be protected, let alone help him.
Looking at the continuous artillery fire behind him, Nahisa Hashimoto had an idea, he couldn't be helped in the infantry brigade, but on the battlefield, there were still these Eighth Route Army! I think the Eighth Route Army will be very interested in an infantry captain, but how can he get in touch with these Eighth Route Army?
"Hashimoto? Keep up! A ghost soldier reminded.
Nahisa Hashimoto nodded hurriedly, and quickly chased after Hideki Yamanaka and the others who had fled, he didn't expect that the way to contact the Eighth Route Army would take a certain amount of time. It's just that Nahisa Hashimoto knows that there won't be much time left for him, and this defeat will definitely affect the next battle. With the cover of artillery fire, the Eighth Route Army can launch an attack at any time, while it will be quite difficult for the infantry brigade to resist the attack of the Eighth Route Army.
In the rear, the shouts of the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army came, and some devils who did not have time to retreat were constantly killed by the soldiers, and the extension of artillery fire not only drove away some of the devils, but also successfully left a group of devils. These abandoned devils, in the face of the fierce offensive soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, were powerless to resist. After being beheaded, some devils chose to surrender, and they were abandoned, and there was no need to continue to hold on.
In the face of the devils who surrendered, the soldiers took their guns and ammunition, escorted them to the rear, and the battle continued, and these devils without weapons, with the guards of the fighters, there would be no problems. After killing these devils, the position of the 386 Brigade moved forward by two thousand meters, and after reaching the range limit of the artillery team, the regiments stopped attacking.
Li Yunlong and others knew very well that the fact that they were able to attack so smoothly had a lot to do with the artillery support of the artillery team. If you can't get artillery support to continue the attack, then once the devils organize a counterattack, the fighters will suffer a lot of casualties. Li Yunlong and the others all knew the truth of accepting it when they saw it, and after letting the charging soldiers stop, they quickly cleaned up the battlefield.
The artillery team positions, the fighters stopped shelling, and the obvious agitation could be seen on their faces. This shelling of the devils made the soldiers of the artillery team quite refreshed, and they continued to shell without worrying about the problem of shells, which is somewhat rare in the artillery team.
"It's all cool, aren't you?" Liu Gen looked at the soldiers and asked with a smile.
The fighters all smiled and nodded, they were really refreshed, but now that they stopped, they could all feel obvious exhaustion. When the devil was shelled, I didn't feel that at that time, the soldiers were in a state of sufficient mental concentration, and naturally they didn't care about their own conditions. But now, feeling some soreness in their bodies, the warriors are in pain and happy.
"Just cool it up! Now that the battle is over, what should we do with the artillery? Liu Gen's expression became serious, and the smiles on the faces of the soldiers suddenly disappeared.
Looking at Liu Gen with a serious expression, the soldiers didn't dare to laugh, some fighters reacted, and some soldiers failed to react. The constant shelling of the devils, without worrying about the devils' counterattacks, is too comfortable for them to forget the training they receive on weekdays.
"Don't know? Then I'll tell you! ”
"Transfer artillery positions! Fast! Right away! As fast as you can! Liu Gen roared loudly.
Liu Gen discovered that the fighters should not be too proud, and they need to learn that no matter what the situation, they need to stay calm enough! In Liu Gen's opinion, the soldiers of these artillery teams are not qualified artillerymen, and the truly qualified artillerymen should be transferred to the artillery positions immediately after the battle, without his reminding! Once you've got something right, there's plenty of time for them to be happy! And not, as now, even forgetting to transfer positions in time.
"Captain, the devil has no artillery again, so even if he transfers his position, he doesn't have to worry, right?" Zhang Jun looked at Liu Gen and couldn't help but ask.
The other warriors were speechless, but from their expressions, it could be seen that Zhang Jun was saying what they thought. The devil has no artillery, even if the artillery team exposes its position, there is no need to worry about being attacked by the devil! The devils are unable to launch any attack on the artillery team, so it probably doesn't matter whether the artillery positions were transferred in time.
"Don't worry? Now I order, in my capacity as the captain of the artillery team, to transfer the artillery positions at once! As long as I'm the captain of the artillery team, then you'll listen to me! Let's go! Take action for Lao Tzu now! Liu Gen spoke again.
In the face of Liu Gen's order from the captain, even if the soldiers of the artillery team were a little dissatisfied and a little puzzled, they did not dare to oppose it at all, so they could only act quickly. Even Zhang Jun, who spoke just now, acted decisively, Liu Gen's expression changed, he had always seen it in his eyes, and now Liu Gen's expression was very familiar to him. Zhang Jun can be sure that if any soldier does not act, then he will be directly expelled from the artillery team by Liu Gen, and he will not be given any more chance.
There is no need to think about it, Liu Gen will definitely do it.
The artillery soldiers moved quickly, and with Liu Gen, the captain, how could they resist? The soldiers of the artillery team who moved were fast, but someone was faster than them, and as soon as they were halfway through, there was a gunshot not far away, and an infantry squad of devils touched it!
